The Luxembourg premier received one dose of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine on May 6 but, as one of Europe’s younger leaders, has not received his second jab. “At that time, insufficient oxygen saturation was diagnosed, and the prime minister has been under continuous medical observation since then,” the government statement said.“The medical staff attending the prime minister therefore decided that hospitalisation is still necessary at this time to continue observation for an estimated period of two to four days.”
